Haha, nice. I did that once.

Once. I'll answer my best.

I need four things from you guys. Your name(or a believable fake, I don't care), your age, your state (or country if non-American), and your answers to the poll(duh)

Li Lu MiNai, 24, Honshu

The possible answers, with abbreviations; strongly support(SS), support(S), neutral(N), Oppose(O), strongly oppose(SO), and no opinion(NO).

I hope that is simple enough to understand. So, lets begin.

What are(or were) your feeling towards the following:
1. The Iraq War when it began

Support(S), because I thought the satellite imagery of Iraqi chem-trucks was legitimate, and Hans Blix was a true investigator.

2. The Iraq War currently

No Opinion(NO), because the rebuilding effort needs to be internally fabricated, yet protecting the rebuilders is not possible without foreign aide.

3. The proposed 900 billion dollar bailout plan

Oppose(O), because redistribution =/= growth, and inflation with stagnation is a bad, bad thing.

4. Gay and lesbian rights

Oppose(O), merely because the rights discussed are actually privileges. Homosexuals are, as far as I'm aware, afforded the same Constitutional guarantees as everyone else. Entitlement is blurring what is a right.

5. Allowing Marijuana to become a legal substance

Support(S), because decriminalizing a drug which resulted in more arrests than all violent crime in America would lift a major burden on the CJ system, re-open dialogue for it's medical and recreational uses, and create a healthy tax base for the vice-tariff savvy politicians pushing happier, healthier lifestyles on the population at large.

6. The closing of Guantanamo Bay prison

Strongly Support(SS), because promises should be kept by heads of state.

7. Abortion Rights

Neutral(N), because I shouldn't be allowed to dictate major life decisions for other couples. Doctors who wish to perform the techniques proscribed by law should be allowed to aid a mother in the event of unwanted pregnancy.

8. Religious Study(as in study of how Religion influenced art, literature, world leaders, etc) in school

Support(S), because our respective histories shape us both as individuals and as culturally aware citizens. The inherent truth claimed by religion is a thing of discussion, expressed through art, literature and world leaders.

9. Universal health care programs

Strongly Oppose (SO), because a plan that tries to do everything for everybody will do nothing for nobody. Healthcare is an individuals decision to make, not one made for them.

10. Government taking a larger role in environmental protection

Oppose(O), because larger is not better, and international consensus is so unlikely given external factors, larger roles will result only in more violations and unjustifiable penalties for conduct violating a sovereign nation's rights to do with their land as they see fit.

Hope the clutter isn't too much for your data collection. Good luck!
